    Expeditions: Viking could have been wonderful. I love its strategic combat layered atop a real world setting that hints at the fantastical without ever crossing the line. It has intriguing moral choices that aren’t afraid to shy away from making the player pick between equally terrible outcomes, and it flirts with making the player both warrior and politician. I could have overlooked the timer and the lack of information, but what I couldn’t overlook is that in its current state, the game is outright unplayable.

So buggy game but still a 10? Yes, because I couldn't just leave the game for 5 days and wait until the bugs were taken care of. Once I started the game I HAD to play -just a little bit more, and a little bit more ....
    As you would expect in a game from these devs, it is solid game design, it is excellent writing, it is truely glorious music. The characters have .. character (!) and the story is engaging with choice and consequense. This is a great game, and will be fantastic in a week when it's been patched a bit more.    … Full Review »

    This is an amazing game. I still can't believe how well-made this is for an indie studio. The amount of detail and polish is just impressive.This is an amazing game. I still can't believe how well-made this is for an indie studio. The amount of detail and polish is just impressive. The game looks beautiful - both the environments and characters are very pleasant to look at. The combat is smooth, informative, tactical and fun! The setting, characters and story work well together and I'm genuinely interested to play more of it. I feel like I'm a part of the Vikings TV series!

    Also, I can't stress enough how good the user interface for dialog is. In a lot of text-heavy games, the dialog box becomes cluttered and because of that reading becomes boring or tedious. That is not the case in Expeditions: Viking! All the text is neatly formatted and color-coded and all the choices are numbered! The reading in this is just pure joy. I love it!    … Full Review »

Never thought this game would be so good from an unknown studio , very great combat,the game has an actually good story, great character dialogs and beautiful environments
    Is it the best rpg ever ? no, but for an unknown studio this is very great
    There are only a few bugs but that is one negative point under the overwelming positive points
    Believe me you have to buy this game
    It costs 26,99 euros on steam so its not a full budget game ( which makes it even better)
    Buy this game!!!!!!!!    … Full Review »
